New year, new list. Trying a somewhat different approach at representing my "Best Bad Movies" list which I divided into five separate lists (A,B,C,D, and E) rather than throwing them all into one. The A-List reflects the more known ("popular") bad movies based on IMDb rating counts, and my personal rating for ranking. I thought the outcome of doing it this way was quite interesting. The selected titles become more "obscure" with each list. On the downside, this resulted in including "lesser" movies in each list but the cut off line was 5 out of 10 rating so those more or less questionable movies near the bottom of each list should still provide entertainment.

Point Break? - Because its a gem of unintentional humor. Keanu Reeves is abused throughout the movie. You don't even have to hate Keanu, the abuse itself is just too funny.The Beyond? - Fulci's masterpiece mixes brutal horror with awkward euro cheese resulting in laughs and screams. "Do Not Entry" is classic!Mommie Dearest? - Because its over-the-top to the point of hilarity, baby.Above the Law? - Because its Steven Seagal at his corniest.Insanitarium? - Because its bad-ass/kick-ass.Over the Top? - Because nothing beats ridiculous drama drenched in masculine sweat.I Know Who Killed Me? - Because its David Lynch meets Ed Wood at the Saw factory.Amityville II: The Possession? - Because fanboys refuse to see the cheese oozing in this sequel.The Stuff? - Because its borderline crap/genius.Drive Angry? - Because its trashy exploitation.Dreamcatcher? - Because they are s**tting eels - Troma style.The Fourth Kind? - Because it mixes genuine thrills with cheese. It works both ways.Dark Shadows? - Because this flop wasn't satisfying enough "straight". Most expensive B-Movie to date and more enjoyable as a bad movie.S. Darko? - Because its treated like an unwanted stepchild. And its not really that bad, but entertainingly bad enough to include in the list.The Cell 2? - Because its much better than the usual DTV sadistic horror thrown on the market.

2. The Wicker Man (2006)10/10 Noted playwright Neil Labute shows himself to be a slightly less inept ed wood in this modern epic. 3. Showgirls (1995)69/10 A bad movie so amazing that it surpasses even the best of film. 4. House of the Dead (2003)Clint Howard Appears 10/105. Troll 2 (1990)10/10 6. The Room (2003)10/1010.

The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996)Brando/Kilmer 20/1096. Night of the Lepus (1972)These rabbits are eating us out of house and home 10/1099. The Food of the Gods (1976)Haven't seen this in a long time but when i did it was 10/10.

Based on the quality of these films I think I will have to check out the other titles.

41. Jack Frost (1997) - One of the few intentionally bad movies I actually enjoyed.

44. The Hand (1981) - Rubbish.

46. Tombs of the Blind Dead (1972) - Boring, dull, soporific, etc. The Templars look cool and that's the ONLY good thing about this movie.

47. Abominable (2006) - Strangely enjoyable.

48. Nightmare City (1980) - I realized something about this movie. Everyone complains that the humans are even dumber and more inert than the zombies in this film. Well, that's the point. Umberto Lenzi was trying to make social commentary with this movie! Ye gods!

49. Crocodile (2000) - Tobe Hooper just didn't give a damn.

50. Kingdom of the Spiders (1977) - A great example of 70s eco-horror. Played completely straight. They don't make 'em like this anymore.

51. Gymkata (1985) - It was ok. I don't think it's a classic of bad cinema, or anything.

Great list. I have watched 1/3 of these and read about the other 2/3. I have a lot of watching to do.

Why'd you include Virus? I know Jamie Lee Curtis hates it for some vaguely-defined reason, but I thought it was a decent sci-fi horror film with a good helping of suspense, and nice FX.

Why Leprechaun 2 instead of Leprechaun 4 or 6? I mean, 2 is pretty strange with it's drinking contest, but the franchise has installments which include one "Dr. Mittenspider" and 4-leaf-clover laced marijuana.

...why Above the Law? I mean, I actually class Above the Law on the low end of Seagal corniness.

I don't see how you can beat Hard to Kill and Seagal's hide-n'-seek game with Vernon at the end: "Veeeeeerrrrrrrrnon, where are u Vernon? Are u in the closet Vernon? ...no, not in the closet, Vernon." I swear, I would have loved to see Seagal play that whole thing out, only to have him look out the window and see the senator coming back from dinner or something "OH, there u are Vernon! You weren't in the house at all now were you??"

I think the movies I have not seen on the list were datted 2002+ (there are some I did see)

Few questions...

You list 1. Point Break (1991) and 2. The Wicker Man (2006)... then you followed it with 3. Showgirls (1995), 4. House of the Dead (2003) and 5. Troll 2 (1990)... I saw Wicker Man and it was little better then the original but I think the badness of the movie is the ending because those that didnt see the original Wicker Man never seen it coming (not spoiling the movie) otherwise I cannot see the line between Wicker Man and Showgirls... Point Break is funny as number 1... This is intresting because Point Break was made with the same flair as Lethal Weapon (1987), sure there are some really silly elements in the story but number 1... that's amazing...

What seems missing...

I would believe that Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) would be number one because it took over 20 years (and George Lukas seem to over look the thousands of fan stories for this pile of poo... there is no excuse for this movie.)... unless Phantom Menace is saved on your Hate List...

YOR - THE HUNTER FROM THE FUTURE... Is this being saved on an obscure list; I know the movie is freaking hard to get except VHS but I also feel almost everybody that's into bad movies had seen it once.

KISS meets the Phantom of the Park... Same as Yor (I guess)... I believe Gene Simons has a mini-vault with every copy of this film. I think it's awesome and my 4 year old daughter loves it too...

Rock-n-Roll Nightmare, I come in Peace & Snakes on a Plane... did I miss them or they are not good for the list...
